Remapping bhp torque

Also I’ve been using redex every 2 weeks for the past couple of months it has really helped my fuel consumption and performance just 1/2 a bottle every full tank. -

I disconnected the battery as I know anything electrical is going to get confused. Being a sensor and plugged in it was obvious to me. Yeah the crc wasn’t available locally and only eBay but my research cam back with the WD-40 contact cleaner which can be used on the throttle body also £5.50 from Halfords. Very happy -
Badge all installed

Also reset maf sensor to regulate the revs as they will be sky high. Don’t panic perfectly normal ..step1-3 Let engine run 3 mins switch off 1 min same thing again. Leave engine off for 5mins then Start engine, foot on the brake pedal till anti skid lights up. Then Take for a drive. Carful though as it takes off like a rocket and will scare you with the extra power. 😂 -

The illuminated front grill badge I’ve imported from Canada. It hasn’t arrived yet 😭 It’s 2 wires very quick ive got a diagram . I’m probably going to piggy back the fuse instead not sure yet. You can also tap into the headlights but that’s risky . -

This weekend I will buy some mass cleaner and clean the maf sensor and throttle body. looks a pretty easy straight forward job and very cheap £4 for the cleaner and it works on the throttle body too so bonus -

Thanks for all your comments. the spark plugs were last changed by Lexus at 63,000 miles in 2013. Air filter changed last service in January this year by Lexus. yes you do get full power throttle to the floor redlined max. it probably has had a leisurely life till I got it lol. I have had had some fun in it max pedal to metal. -
